“Brothers of the awakened…
We are gathered here to usher the City into a New Age
Let us begin, the channelling of the Primal”

The new trailer, created using in-game visuals and entitled ‘THIEF: CHANNELING OF THE PRIMAL’, reveals the moment when Garrett and Erin discover that the artifact they were hired to steal is at the center of a bizarre ritual; a ceremony conducted by a secretive group of robed men who intend to harness a mysterious energy called The Primal.

The Primal has, until now, only ever been rumored to exist. Garret feels the job is too dangerous and attempts to call it off but the rebellious Erin refuses to abandon the heist. The ritual begins and the force of the Primal is unleashed, violently shaking the foundations of the building and Erin falls to her tragic death.

As time passes The City begins to change. The population begins to change and so too does Garrett himself. It becomes clear that the force of The Primal is far greater than anyone could ever imagine.

“Men who believed themselves to know best…
Tried to control something they didn’t fully understand”
